England U21s by beating Azerbaijan 2-0 yesterday moved 5pts clear of 2nd place Norway with 1 game to go. Norway with 2 games took on Belgium in Belgium. All we needed was a little Belgian help to win the group with a game to spare, all we needed was Belgium to not lose at home. They lost 3-1.

England remain 3rd this edition of the rankings, but that will be surely be coming to an end next month.<br /><br />Even if England defeat both Moldova and Ukraine, England's score will drop to 1258, while Portugal, despite such lowly opponents in Luxembourg and Azerbaijan, if they beat them both, will rise to 1259.
